Indigenous People

Indigenous peoples are the original inhabitants of a region, with distinct cultures, languages, and traditions that have developed over thousands of years. They often have a deep spiritual connection to their land and natural resources. Globally, Indigenous communities face challenges such as loss of land, cultural erosion, and social inequality, often due to colonization and modernization. Recognizing their rights, promoting cultural preservation, and supporting their autonomy are essential for respecting their heritage and contributions to society. Examples include Native Americans in the U.S., First Nations in Canada, and Aboriginal peoples in Australia.
